The ladies qf DaUfts pqjk County
are invited to oall aDd see the new
styles of visiting cards at the Observer
office. Handsome new faoes of script
and Roman type have just been re
ceived for this work. In visiting
cards the tendency is to use a some
what smaller card than has been in
use during the past few years. A thin
snow-white card, .high finish, is the
proper style. The script type is
smaller in consequence of the cards
being smaller, following more closely
the English style. We also take or
ders for cards engraved and printed
from copper plates, and are showing
a line of samples, from the foremost
engraving house in the United States.

some time, the matter originating in
disputes over the home property,
which has been sold, and which was
farmed by Albert up to that time. Al
bert Had driven out towards his home
on the Albany road and stopped and
commenced to quarrel with George
over personal matters. George was
on a load of hay at the time,
"Albert grabbed a pitchfork and
George took hold with another. While
they were fencing with the forks, Al
bert hit George across the arm, and it
is stated that he was jabbing around
George's eyes, when Emmit Gaar
came in and hit Albert across the
head.
"A report was brought from Salem
that It is thought that Albert Reuf
will live, The dootors at the hospital
state that the head is badly crushed
and the skull cracked,
"Emmitt Gaar was placed under
bonds of $3000, George Reuf is one
of the bondsmen."

There is absolutely nothing doing
iu the local hop market this week.
There seems to be a general Inclina

badly. The highest price that has
been paid In Dallas is 25 cents, but
25 has been offered for a few extra
quality hops. The hops in this dis
trict are of exceptionally fine quality
and the Dallas growers expect to ob
tain a good price for their crops. Local
buyers expect to make few purchases
until the opening . of. the English
market.
